Entertaining Children

The "Treasure Presentation Party" is not available on any program. Ten days before the party, the seniors and sisters of the student union also organized a program review. Only those who pass their review and feel that the program is good enough can appear in the department At the welcome party here, and participated in the final program selection. Bayi Chinese? Wenwang W(i)W?W. 81 ZW. After a review by COM, only three programs from the performance class passed the review by the student union. One is a group dance of five girls including Ge Yan, one is Tang Xiaoling's acrobatics, and the last one is a cello solo performed by a girl named Zhou Xiao.

The three selected programs are all girls. After Xiao Yao was deprived of the selection qualification and decided not to prepare a show, the shows prepared by several other boys were also wiped out.

"Xiao Yao, why don't you apply for another show? Even if you don't participate in the final awards, at least show us guys a face." After the review results came out, Wang Zhi persuaded Xiao Yao with some reluctance, "Let's The honors of class one are all for the girls to fight for, and we boys don’t do anything? This is not appropriate, right? Where are we boys going to save face?”

The review took a total of two days, and all the programs of the first class were reviewed on the first day. If you apply for another program temporarily, you can still catch up with the review on the second day. At Xiao Yao's level, everyone felt that if Xiao Yao was willing to make a show, he didn't even need to prepare, it was almost random.

"Forget it." Xiao Yao shook his head and refused, "If it is really a competition related to the honor of the class, I will definitely define it. But this welcome party is just to let the students of the whole department have a good time together, and no one will accept it. I really care about which class has the most programs. You see, after I was excluded from the scope of awards, even Teacher Cui didn’t say anything. If it is really related to the face of the class, Teacher Cui must be the first to quit, so I'd better not join in the fun."

"You want to spare some time to watch Gege and the others rehearse and dance?" Xu Liang said aside, "I heard that Gege asked you to teach their dance? Their dance style seems to be very sexy. , looks very enjoyable, right?"

"I found it, and asked me to write songs and choreograph for them, but I didn't agree." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Since it is said that my program will not participate in the awards of the welcome party, then the program I created should also be counted in the awards." In addition, I have seen a lot of their dances. To be honest, I am really not interested. If I have time, I would prefer to watch Tang Xiaoling rehearse acrobatics. I rarely see acrobatics. .”

Tang Xiaoling has two main acrobatics, one is rope tricks and the other is kicking drums. The rope technique mainly shows her body flexibility and hand skills. She still dances the rope in her hand even in various difficult movements such as standing on the horse, lowering the waist, and standing on one hand. The pedal drum does not have much displacement on the stage, but it is enough to watch a big drum with a diameter of about one meter and a thickness of about 40 centimeters flying up and down under the control of Tang Xiaoling's dexterous feet. shocking.

As the "treasure presentation" is approaching day by day,

The girls who were selected for the program gradually became the focus of attention of the students in the class. Their rehearsal time became more and more intensive, and more and more students in the class came to watch their rehearsal. Compared with girls like Ge Yan and Zhou Xiao who are usually more active in class, Tang Xiaoling, who is usually a taciturn girl, is obviously more amazing to everyone.

The students in the performance department are all talented art students. As Xiao Yao said, they usually see many opportunities to sing, dance, and play musical instruments. However, professional acrobatic performances can be performed in real life except on TV. Opportunities to watch are rare.

Driven by Xiao Yao, a guy who has a lot of influence on his classmates, whenever he has nothing to do, he goes to see Tang Xiaoling's rehearsal, and more and more students who don't have a show come to watch Tang Xiaoling's practice. Seeing the rope fluttering in her hand and the big drum flying up and down on her feet, many students were surprised to find that this girl who is usually reserved and easily ignored by them can be so radiant. Everyone seemed to know her again. Tang Xiaoling's popularity among her classmates also increased a lot.

On the night of the welcome party, before the official start of the party. All the performers who did not have a show slipped into a lounge in the backstage to cheer for the girls who participated in the performance.

Since the performers who performed the three programs of the first class were arranged to wait in a lounge, other students did not have to run around, and all gathered in the same lounge.

Pushing open the door of the lounge, Xiao Yao couldn't help frowning after walking in with other students. It turned out that the performers of the three groups of programs did not rest in the lounge, and they were all still practicing as fast as possible. In the middle of the lounge, Ge Yan and other five girls were still practicing dance moves in short sections. On the side to the side, Zhou Xiao was also intermittently dragging each movement and measure in the performance repertoire. On the other side against the wall, Tang Xiaoling was lying on the mat with her feet raised, kicking the drums.

"The performance is about to start, and I was still practicing while waiting. This is a sign of nervousness and lack of confidence!" Xiao Yao sighed in his heart.

Seeing the students coming in, the girls stopped temporarily. The students who didn’t have the task of performing the show played and encouraged the girls. The girls who had the task of performing the show chatted with everyone. After thanking everyone for their encouragement and support, they couldn’t help but continue to practice. .

Seeing that it was still early, the students who came to refuel did not leave immediately, but just watched the practice of several girls in the lounge, and praised them from time to time.

Xiao Yao watched for a while, and finally couldn't help but walked towards Tang Xiaoling, wanting to make her stop and rest.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the lounge, which shocked the students. The students followed the sound and saw Tang Xiaoling lying on the ground with a look of surprise, her feet were already empty. Standing aside, Xiao Yao was standing on one foot with his left foot, his right foot was being withdrawn from the air, and the big drum was already lying on an open space between Ge Yan and Zhou Xiao.

"Xiao Yao, what are you doing?!" Several classmates rushed towards Xiao Yao immediately. Looking at the situation, it was clear that Xiao Yao kicked the big drum off Tang Xiaoling's feet.

"Xiao Yao, you can't perform on stage yourself, and you can't intentionally sabotage, right?" Ge Yan first said to Xiao Yao.

"Not allowing your program to participate in the awards was initiated by people from the two classes next door, and the students from the student union agreed. Xiaoling did not offend you. Why did you kick her drum? You broke the surface of the drum." How can Xiaoling perform?" A girl looked at the big drum lying on the ground, and there was already a hole in the surface of the drum.

"Even if you have dissatisfaction in your heart, you can't choose this time to vent it. The performance is about to start, how can you do this?" Other students also gathered around.

"Crazy?!" Another classmate accused.

"Is this the kind of person I am in your eyes?" Xiao Yao said with a helpless smile.

"Quiet!" Wang Zhi yelled, suppressing the students' comments and accusing, "Xiao Yao is not this kind of person, don't talk nonsense."

"Then what is he doing?" Ge Yan asked unhappily.

"I'm here to prevent her from getting hurt," Xiao Yao said.

"It's my own fault." At this time, Tang Xiaoling, whose complexion recovered, stood up and said, "It was my own fault just now. I didn't catch the drum after kicking it. The drum was about to fall and hit my foot. , Xiao Yao kicked this drum away to prevent me from being injured by the big drum. He is helping me, so don’t blame him.”

Xiao Yao watched Tang Xiaoling practice for a long time, and he already remembered her movements clearly. When he approached Tang Xiaoling just now to persuade her to stop and relax, he happened to see that one of Tang Xiaoling's practice movements was different from usual. The falling height of the drum was obviously lower than the height that Tang Xiaoling's soles could catch. Human calves are not as flexible and soft as the soles of feet. Moreover, he was familiar with Tang Xiaoling's performance and he was sure that Tang Xiaoling did not use her legs to catch the drum, so he Immediately realized that Tang Xiaoling had an accident during practice. Seeing that the big drum was about to hit Tang Xiaoling's leg, Xiao Yao made a decisive kick first, kicking the big drum away from the side.

People on the sidelines couldn't see this kind of thing, but Tang Xiaoling, who was the person involved, could still feel it very clearly. And it's not like she hasn't been hit by a falling drum when she was practicing before. Although it doesn't necessarily hurt her muscles and bones, it usually hurts for several days. If she was hit before performing on stage, Coming on stage with her injured foot, her performance is probably going to be ruined.

"Really?" Ge Yan asked Tang Xiaoling, who bowed her head again after she finished speaking.

"Hmm." Tang Xiaoling continued to lower her head and nodded. It seems that the situation just now scared her a little bit, but she had to stand up and speak out because she didn't want everyone to blame Xiao Yao by mistake. At this time, she was not performing, and her introverted personality returned to her.

"Of course, I just said that Xiao Yao is not this kind of person." Wang Zhi hurriedly said loudly, "Everyone should stop crowding around. Now that Xiaoling's big drum for performing is broken, everyone should quickly think of a way to remedy it. .”

"It's as long as you're fine, but the big drum is broken, so let's go find a new one and replace it, shall we?" someone began to suggest.

"Our school's equipment room doesn't have this kind of big drum. Tang Xiaoling rented it from outside." Xiao Yao went to the broken big drum and looked at it, and said, "There are only two ways now. One is ours. Use scotch tape to stick the broken drum head together. Ugly is a bit ugly, but fortunately this big drum is not used for beating, it is a prop, so it should not affect Tang Xiaoling's performance. Another way is to change the props, Our school doesn’t have big drums, but we have potted plants, so we can steal the largest empty flower pot from the flower garden and replace the big drums. I just wonder if Tang Xiaoling’s ability to kick flowerpots is as good as pedaling drums?”

"Stealing flower pots? This is a good way!" When the boys heard Xiao Yao's proposal, their eyes lit up. In the name of helping their classmates, the boys are eager to do bad things under the guise of being famous.

"Don't be fooled. Getting caught is not a joke." Wang Zhi said immediately.

"For helping my classmates, I accepted the punishment." Several boys immediately said righteously.

"No need." Tang Xiaoling said, "The weight and size of the flower pot and the big drum are different. I haven't practiced it for a while, and I don't know what to do on stage. It's better to use this drum." It's not a problem to push the flower pots in the water tank. In fact, she still doesn't want her classmates to take risks and commit crimes for herself, especially this idea was proposed by Xiao Yao. If he is caught, he will be the main culprit. Xiao Yao has helped her a lot during this time, and she doesn't want Xiao Yao to be punished and criticized because of herself.
